January Birchbox
You would think I would learn my lesson. I was not intrigued by the special curated box this month so I went with sample choice instead (the TONYMOLY lip stain). Lo and behold, I open the box and see a damn perfume sample!
The theme of this month's box is 2016: The Year Of ____ and came with some motivational stickers so you can pick what you are focusing on this year. I'm over here hoping 2016 is the year of no more perfume samples in my boxes.
Okay, taking off the crabby pants. Sorry about that.

In my box:
Ciate London
Mini Paint Pot - Mineral Clarity
This polish has an ergonomically-designed bottle, flawless finish brush, and amazingly pigmented, long-lasting color.
Eyeko
Fat Liquid Liner
This liner delivers the same smudge proof, rich color in a thicker, bolder line than the original skinny liner.
Key West Aloe
Gentle Facial Cleanser
Made with 30% aloe vera, this foaming wash cleans, calms and rebalances skin.
Meet Your Destiny
0.2 Eau de Parfum
This scent has top notes of bergamot and spearmint and base notes of amber, french vanilla, and a hint of oakmoss.
TONYMOLY
Delight Tony Tint - Red
Lightweight, super pigmented lip stain that dries quickly for a sheer, matte finish that won't budge all day.
I'm interested to try the aloe facial cleanser; with the success of aloe-based skincare like L'Bri, I'm curious to see how my skin likes it.
In the past I've shied away from dramatic lip colors, so I thought I would dip my toes into the red lip pond and try this stain. Might have to wait until my lips are less chapped, though. Winter is wrecking my lips!
The Ciate nail polish is a gorgeous blue, silver, and dark gray micro glitter that I'm super excited to try. Although I need to go get some more glitter nail polish remover before I lacquer it onto my nails.
The other items are being taken to work to be passed onto others who might use them. I don't wear eyeliner ever and one of my coworkers already claimed it when I posted my box on Instagram, so I'm happy to pass it on to her. And the gaggy perfume can be taken by whoever wants it. Like I said, I hate getting perfume samples. Especially when they're sizes you can get for free if you go to Sephora or Ulta.
